Memorable, crazy movie
Absolutely the worst movie.
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Nacho (Black) is a monastery cook, who spends his day feeding orphans and being overlooked by the monastery. When Sister Encarnación (Reguera) arrive at the monastery, Nacho realises that the only way to win her affection and to save the children, will be by competing as a Luchador wrestler. Nacho Libre is a wrestling spoof starring Jack Black and believe me it's pretty damn good, it's very funny and hysterical but also elevates from great perfomances from it's cast especially Black. It's not a film that needs to be taken serious i mean it's a fat monastery cook that tries to become a wrestler and goes against a 'Rey Mysterio' type of wrestler champion. It's definitely a great movie to be enjoyed. (10/10)
I'm Mexican, grew up with seventies Mexican films and let me tell you folks this is a tribute to those crazy, silly and funny luchador movies. Even they paid a tribute to new Mexican film era. Visually, acting and culturally accuracy is all over, and Jack Black and folks did it's part. Finally Hollywood understood that Mexico ia not bullfights and zorro styled landscape.
This work of art actually opened up the world of God to me.It's funny, you get that sweet Mexican respectable accent from Jack Black himself, and you also get a better movie than Ready Player One will ever be. I'm impressed with the acting. It was funny, spicy, and feisty. A lot of which is greatly appreciated among my people (Jack Blackers). I thought at first Jack was surrounded by Spanish speaking people and WOW, I looked it up-- I have research-- but this man speaks a beautiful imitation of that of a Mexican accent. Lovely. Read me bedtime stories, Jack.Anyway, referring to the rest of the film-- people, calm down! It wasn't meant for its literal reference to religion and wrestling, but rather a satirical based film in which it pokes a good balance of playful fun and a touch of reality.Ever have a bad day? Watch Nacho Libre.(it rhymed, give me credit here) Bless up, what a lord.thank you
This film hits audiences immediately with its playful and friendly humor, which it sustains very well throughout the film. I have seen this film a good many times and each time I watch it I still find myself laughing and having a good time. The characters are well developed and you want Jack Black to succeed. The supporting cast also does a fantastic job of moving the story along, and adding a quirky but real feeling to the entire film. Every person in the film doesn't go over the top in presentation. So even the crazy wrestlers make sense. This is a great family flick and is entertaining for both kids and adults alike. Definitely give this movie a watch.
